Most communities have some kind of historical society. Try contacting the local library if you can't locate a listing for one. Once you've tracked down them, pay them a visit and ask to see old photos of the area. Locate a chance taken back as far as the middle 1800's, possible is perfect, and get a duplicate of the photo. Now take your gear, go to the same spot and shoot a modern day photo from the exact same vantage point, etc. Attempt to duplicate as much of the photo as you can... if there's a horse and buggy going down the street, contain an automobile at exactly the same area in your photo. If there are people wandering down the pavement, put some folks in yours too! I'm sure you know what I mean! You are striving to copy as much as you can. (Do not forget to shoot the shot at the same time of day!)

Print them out side by side once you are done. This endeavor is going to teach you more than you could really ever predict! It'll not just teach you the best way to work with your gear, but it's going to instruct you to look for and be observant of details. Not only that, this endeavor is well suited for kids just starting out in photography all the way through old retired professional shots. Everything depends on you and just how much detail you need to convey.

For example... In the initial photograph with folks strolling down the sidewalk... does your photo show them?

A photo by a teenaged beginner may not. It's OK. Shoot at your own amount! Are you advanced? If so the strollers are comprised! We can even go deeper in case you would like to... Is it the same size family group as the original? Are they made up of the same mixture? (Guy, girl, three kids.)

To put it differently, you can keep it simple - no folks in the slightest! Just the location. Or you also can get as sophisticated as you desire. This endeavor is a surefire way to get known in your community - once people have seen your before and following photos. Compile them in a group and give a copy to the neighborhood historical society, library, Chamber of Commerce.

Then, do it again! Before long you'll have enough of them to put together a 'then and now' type of publication! Chambers of Commerce love this sort of thing!
